Royce O'Neale News, Rumors, Updates - Charlotte Hornets

Limited impact in defeat O'Neale produced three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 153-121 loss to the Kings.

Impact O'Neale had a season-low four field-goal attempts in Tuesday's matchup, and the Nets could not keep up with Sacramento offensively. The 29-year-old has now been held to single-digit scoring totals in four of the last six games while shooting 27.5 percent from the floor over that stretch. He was also unable to generate much production in secondary categories Tuesday.

Solid play continues O'Neale amassed 15 points (5-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals over 41 minutes during Monday's 96-94 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact O'Neale and Durant have switched roles in the starting lineup throughout the season, and his consistent presence in the starting lineup is keeping Ben Simmons off the floor. While the team is keen to get Simmons involved, O'Neale is poised to have a career year with his new team and looks like the Nets' best two-way wing.

Pops for 20 against Bulls O'Neale had 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 108-99 loss to the Bulls.

Impact The 29-year-old had his best scoring performance in a Nets uniform, scoring at least 20 points for the first time since Jan. 26, 2021, when he was still a member of the Jazz. O'Neale was perhaps viewed as just a stopgap in the starting five to begin the season with Joe Harris sidelined, but he's providing Brooklyn with exactly the kind of floor spacing they needed and has drained multiple three-pointers in seven of eight games to begin the season.

Starting again Friday O'Neale is starting Friday against the Raptors, Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact Although Joe Harris will be available to make his season debut Friday, O'Neale will remain in the starting lineup for a second consecutive game after he posted 10 points, seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals in 34 minutes Wednesday against the Pelicans. Coach Steve Nash didn't say Harris would have a minutes limit against Toronto, but O'Neale may handle a fairly significant workload again Friday.

Strong defensive effort in loss O'Neale contributed 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 130-108 loss to New Orleans.

Impact O'Neale put together a nice fantasy line in the loss, scoring efficiently while chipping in across several other categories. The Nets brought him in to provide them with a defensive presence, which he was able to do in spades in the opener. He won't be a consistent source of points, but for anyone in need of steals with some boards and perimeter scoring, he could be worth streaming at times throughout the season.

Inserted into starting lineup O'Neale will start in Thursday's preseason game versus the Heat, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact O'Neale will be taking Joe Harris' (rest) spot in the starting lineup Thursday. The 29-year-old will likely be the team's primary backup forward once the regular season begins on Oct. 19. O'Neale averaged 7.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 31.2 minutes over 77 games for the Jazz last season.

Traded to Nets O'Neale was traded from the Jazz to the Nets on Thursday in exchange for a 2023 first-round pick, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Brooklyn's acquisition of O'Neale comes mere minutes after it was announced Kevin Durant officially requested a trade. It's hard to speculate what O'Neale's role might be on a Nets roster that seems headed for major changes. Over the past three seasons with the Jazz, he averaged 6.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 30.6 minutes.

Off injury report O'Neale (thumb) is available for Friday's game against the Suns.

Impact O'Neale will return following a one-game absence due to right thumb soreness. Since the start of March, he's averaged 7.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 31.3 minutes.

Out vs. OKC O'Neale (thumb) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact O'Neale won't be available for Wednesday's tilt with Oklahoma City due to a right thumb issue that he presumably picked up in Tuesday's win over Memphis. In his absence, Rudy Gay, Eric Paschall and Danuel House should see increased minutes.

APRIL 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Wednesday O'Neale is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to right thumb soreness.

Impact O'Neale was a late addition to Wednesday's injury report, but it appears likely that he'll be held out against Oklahoma City. If he's ultimately unavailable, Rudy Gay, Eric Paschall and Danuel House should see additional run.

APRIL 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs seven rebounds Thursday O'Neale closed Thursday's 122-109 win over the Lakers with two points (1-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes.

Impact O'Neale couldn't get things going offensively, but he finished second on Utah in rebounds and posted a team-best plus-18 during his time on the court. The forward also recorded zero turnovers for his fourth straight game. O'Neale hasn't scored more than six points in any of his past six contests and is shooting 25.0 percent from the field over that stretch, so he's not a viable fantasy asset at the moment.

Posts double-double in blowout win O'Neale totaled 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 123-85 victory over Portland.

Impact All of Utah's starters played less than 25 minutes due to the large lead the team held throughout most of the game. O'Neale still managed to put together a strong fantasy line, finishing with his first double-double since Jan. 5. The steady forward has produced low-end fantasy value since the start of February with per-game averages of 9.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.0 steals along with strong shooting rates of 54.7 percent from the field and 88.9 percent from the charity stripe across 14 games.

MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Drops 13 points in Monday's loss O'Neale notched 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Monday's 111-103 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact O'Neale put together another serviceable performance in the loss, although the lack of defense was somewhat disappointing. All in all, it's been a successful season for O'Neale, flirting with 12-team relevance on most nights. He's not the most attractive option given his lack of upside, but managers can typically throw him on the end of their bench without too many concerns.
